Tonight I watched my daughter spin a toy around her ankle that was similar to a favorite of mine from childhood. It brought be so much joy to pass along something that was part of my childhood. This is a great way to build traditions and connections with children, while reliving joy from your past. This week's writing assignment: Write about something that brought you joy as a child, or something you have passed onto your kids. Weave it into a story, writing from the child's perspective. We currently see it from adult eyes. How would the child see it?

As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on. Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone? Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books. If we work together, great things will follow!
